St Lucian born and raised on the island photographing "anything" from the age of 9, I left in 1979 to pursue a business degree at Arizona State University.After graduating, I moved with my wife to Los Angeles and worked in the banking industry in Downtown LA. An unplanned trip to Yosemite with a 1956 Rolleiflex ignited in me a desire to become a photographer and after seeing the work of Ansel Adams and Galen Rowell, my fate was sealed. Moved back to the island with my three year old daughter and my wife, who is from the Pacific Islands, and turned my hobby into a new career. In 2008, with numerous awards, calenders and magazine covers to my credit, I embarked on a once in a lifetime project. This involved finding and photographing...

Anchovies and OlivesRead MoreAnchovies and Olives: A User's Guide Seasonal Italian Seafood and Pasta | Oyster Bar | Happy Hour Specials | Robust Spirits and Wine List Sample Menu Crudo: sea-cow oyster Appetizer: fried chickpeas Entree: sockeye salmon with cauliflower, pistachios, currants, and smoked chili Where to Sit: Ask for a seat near the open kitchen if you want to pick up tips from Chef Zach Chambers, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. From his humble beginnings as a dishwasher, Chef Chambers eventually went on to cook at the American Academy in Rome and Belltown's Tavoláta before taking the Executive Chef position at Anchovies and Olives. When to Go: The restaurant occasionally plans special events, such as the Earth Day dinner made with sustainable and locally sourced food. Or diners can sip wine and slurp oysters with their sweethearts on Valentine's Day—Anchovies and Olives was named one of the city's top Valentine's restaurants by Gayot. But you don't have to wait for a special occasion to visit A&O—Oyster Power Hour is Sunday–Thursday. On those days, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. and again from 10 p.m. until closing time, the oyster of the day is just $1, and there are drink specials as well. Inside Tips If you see geoduck on the seasonal menu, order it. According to Gayot, "Its delicate taste and slightly crunchy texture is a revelation." But if that's not on the menu, look for the escolar crudo, which GQ called one of the five best dishes of the year. Don't stress looking for a street spot; the first hour of parking at the nearby garage off Pine Street is free. Want to buy someone a gift card, or maybe just a couple beers? A&O is featured on Gratafy, an app that lets you send gift cards or even specific menu items—from drinks to oysters—directly to the recipient's smartphone. Vocab Lesson Crudo: Italian for "raw." It's often used when referring to uncooked meat or seafood. While You're in the Neighborhood Before: Pamper yourself before dinner with a mani-pedi or massage at Polished Boutique Spa (1422 E Pine Street). After: Get dessert at Old School Frozen Custard, which offers specialty frozen-custard flavors like Almond Joy or apple strudel. (1316 E Pike Street). If You Can't Make It, Try This: Chef Zach Chambers also heads the kitchen at sister restaurant and pizzeria Bar Cotta (1546 15th Avenue), located next door.1550 15th AvenueSeattle, WA US
Little Water CantinaRead MoreLittle Water Cantina: A User's Guide Modern, Seasonal Mexican | Killer Views of Lake Union | Artful Cocktails | "Freakishly Delicious Guacamole" Sample Menu Appetizer: empanadas stuffed with smoked Canadian duck or mixed veggies with almond cheese Entree: wild-boar torta ahogada with grilled pineapple, three-chili sauce, and fried onions Side: hock, chile, and beer-braised black and pinto beans Green Eating While the kitchen strives to use local and organic products and compost all food waste, the staff's eco-conscious efforts don't stop there. The restaurant boasts LEED Platinum certification, in part due to the materials used to construct the space. The bar is made from rough, recycled wood and cinder blocks, light fixtures are upcycled gramophone horns, and one entire wall is constructed from 800 tequila bottles foraged from restaurant dumpsters. Inside Tips If weather permits, the 2,200-square-foot patio offers unmatched views of Lake Union. On the last Sunday of each month, the eatery hosts the kid-friendly event Snouts and Stouts, during which the kitchen staff whole-roasts a naturally raised pig on the patio and serves it in pork tacos while local bands play. Street parking is usually ample, but if it's tight, find a free spot in the restaurant's underground garage. Press Box "Little Water Cantina's spectacular tuna ceviche is a party on a plate." — Seattle Times "Freakishly delicious guacamole." — The Stranger "Bar manager Ryan Minch uses sotol to perfection in The Dog Fighter cocktail: a crisp, citrusy affair that blends sotol with El Jimador tequila blanco, maraschino, lemon juice, Cointreau and peach bitters." — Seattle Magazine Vocab Lesson Manchamanteles: Spanish for tablecloth stainer, this is made from a mix of chiles, veggies, and meats, and is considered a classic Oaxacan mole. Achiote: Spanish for annatto, this is extracted from the seeds of a shrub by the same name. It's used as a spice or for its rich reddish color. While You're in the Neighborhood Before: Gaze into the eyes of the Fremont Troll, who lives beneath the Aurora Bridge (3600 Troll Avenue N). After: Watch boats depart from the hand-launch area at Fairview Park (2900 Fairview Avenue E).2865 Eastlake Avenue EastSeattle, WA US

Araya's Vegetarian PlaceRead MoreThe aromas of peanut sauce, lemongrass, and spicy chili pastes drifting throughout the dining room at Araya's Place may seem familiar at first, but the eatery isn't like most Thai restaurants. It eschews meats and dairy entirely, forging a distinctive menu that led The Stranger to hail Araya's University District location as "Thai vegan heaven." Working exclusively with GMO-free tofu and produce sourced from local farmers whenever possible, the chefs cook classic Thai dishes as well as a handful of slightly more imaginative creations. "I do not want to be only Thai vegetarian food," owner Araya Pudpard explained to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in 2008, "I want to be international vegan food." The international twists are evident throughout the menu's otherwise familiar selection of stir-fried noodle dishes and aromatic curries. A mélange of assorted garden vegetables, deep-fried and served with sweet-and-sour sauce, make up the veggie tempura, and the jasmine-tinged creme brûlée conceals a vegan and gluten-free custard beneath a one-molecule-thin layer of crisp sugar. But even with these occasional twists, Thai staples still dominate the menu's pages. One of the restaurant's more iconic dishes, the tom yum soup, is so spicy that it has appeared on the Food Network show Heat Seekers, which features two chefs who travel around the country looking for mouth-burning dishes and ice sculptures to lick afterward.1121 Northeast 45th StreetSeattle, WA US
Sluggers Sports BarRead MoreFive Things to Know About Gourmet Latte Karissa Bresheare had a dream: to become a barista and open up a drive-thru coffee shop. To help turn her vision into a reality, Karissa's stepfather built the shop in his own front yard until it was ready to transport to its current location, where it has fueled the Seattle area ever since. Here are a few facts to go along with your cappuccino. Karissa's caffeinated empire has expanded to more than 15 Washington locations. Not all beans are created equal. The drive-thrus exclusively source their espresso from Caffe D'arte, which roasts Italian-style coffee using single-origin beans. It's not all about espresso, though. In addition to the cafe's signature marbled truffle drink, they also serve up white chocolate mocha lattes, italian sodas, and chai teas. You can get a meal with your drink. Gourmet Latte assembles sandwiches for both breakfast and lunch. It's good to know the lingo, especially if you're health conscious. For example, "no whip" cuts 80–130 calories and up to 12 grams of fat from the drinks. The baristas can also make drinks with organic soy milk and hormone-free milk at no additional charge.538 1st Ave SSeattle, WA US

Reviews From Guests
Katherine is very hospitable and help us so much. Lee and Kylee provided detail info and prompt response for our questions. The house location is near CBD. It's easy to find market and restaurant. Wonderful experience in Perth.
Must mentioned that we had a fabulous time staying at Lee's place. Firstly, Lee's was prompt in response to our emails. Secondly, the place is very clean, tidy and cozy. It is very well located, with walking distance to Hyde park, Perth city centre and various nice eateries in the surrounding area. There is a nearby bus stop with frequent bus number 950 that goes to UWA which was very convenient for us. Not forgetting to mention that the room is actually quite spacious. Lee's mum Katherine is a wonderful host. Learned a lot of useful tips from her and she is very kind, helpful and friendly. She is very hospitable and we felt truly comfortable staying at this lovely house. No words can really described how grateful we are to them. They are superb. Pookie is a very good nature dog and we just fell in love with him at first sight. My daughter still misses him now that we are back home. We would definitely consider this a 5-star experience! Thank you Katherine, thank you Lee!
I'm really glad you enjoyed your stay, I really enjoyed hosting your family. I'm sure pookie misses your family too, he loves having people around. thank you for choosing my place and hope to meet again!
Lee response to all messages promptly & even offered us to and fro pick up to the airport at a minimal sum. Me & sis felt so welcomed by Lee & Kath & we felt so at home during our 7 nights stay. Beautiful location, genuine & unpretentious hosts & a clean place to stay. What else more can we ask for? We miss Katherine's pasta so much and oh yeah, Pookie too! Thank you so much for the wonderful stay. Cheers!
Lee is a great guy, he replies promptly when I have questions. The apartment looks just like how it is in the photos, you can also find guides and other information already prepared for, in the room. Great location, walkable distance to the city centre, and there are many dining options available in the vicinity. I had a great stay thanks to Lee and his mom, who were very welcoming, and extremely helpful. Would love to stay again!
The room was comfortable and clean. Lee and his mother, Katherine, provided lots of useful information. We appreciate the flexible check-in and check-out times. The house is near Hyde Park and lots of good cafes/shops. Pookie is a very sweet, quiet dog that only barks when people arrive at the house. This was our first Airbnb experience. Though we respected all of the rules, we did not feel very welcome or at home. Nevertheless, thank you Lee and Katherine for being helpful hosts.
Hi Elaine, I am sorry you felt this way as we try and accommodate everyone as best we can, you're welcome as we welcomed you to stay up until your flight time of 1am. We like to invite guests to be a part of our family when staying with us rather than the room being a rental. This is because i believe airbnb to be a different experience to hotels, hostels etc, regarding the house rules they are there to work in favour of everyone,they are to not cause grief to neighbours and reflect general issue we face in Australia. I think there may have been some miscommunication between my mum and yourselves. Thank you for your feed back, again sorry you felt this way. Safe travels
Very happy to recommend Lee & Katherine. They were very hospitable. & we're very happy to help out with suggestions for trips. The house location was great. It was only 25 min walk to the Rottnest Ferry. It was even quicker with the blue cat bus route. Plenty of cafes, bars & restaurants close by. Parking was available outside. We would certainly suggest staying there.
The bedroom and the house were very clean and comfortable. We haven't met Lee but his mother was very nice. We recommend this place !
Had a great stay at Lee's! Super convenient location - Northbridge, train station and city all within walking distance. Lee's mother Katherine was also very hospitable and gave us good recommendations for food and stuff. Pookie is also a very well-behaved dog that really only barks when there are people coming into the house:)
Both Lee and his mum were lovely hosts. Their place is well located, close to nearby Asian restaurants and cafes. The room is very clean and the bed is also comfortable for a good night rest. We truly enjoyed our stay here for two nights. The hosts even went the extra mile to send us out, thank you :) and not to forget, their dog, Pookie is very endearing. Definitely recommended!
Reviews From Hosts
Lee was very flexible and friendly. He was clean and took great care of the place. He was very self-sufficient as well. Unfortunately we never got to meet but I could tell he was a stand-up guy by his emails. Highly recommended and welcome back anytime!!

"Great book to the lovers of science"
Reading this book allow you an broad overview about the history of physics in its golden age. This is a really worth reading book even if you don't have advanced previous background knowledge on physics.
I'm a voracious reader who unfortunately spends a lot of time on the road. Audiobooks make my life a lot better.
"Quantum this!"
I agree with other reviewers who said this is not a lecture on Quantum mechanics -- thank God! It is a fascinating biographical story of things that happened, for the most part, almost a hundred years ago (or more) and are still very poorly understand and agreed upon by the brightest minds of our time. There is, in my opinion, just about the right amount of science to mix with the story. These people were amazing at the turn of the last century. There was one relatively small character in the book who had ELEVEN of his students later win a Nobel prize. You can't make this stuff up. A good read especially if you really like the history of science even more than the science itself.
l'enfer c'est les autres
"Personality to explain quantum physics"
Uses the personal interaction of the main discovers of quantum physics to understand physics. The book reads very excitingly due to the personalities involved. Even someone who is not fully interested in the quantum physics would enjoy the story.
Love the subject matter and love the reader. What a great story and so well told. I have listen to this one already several times.
"Signifying Darkly"
I am sorry to have to send in such a bad review. Blame should rest largely with the producer and publisher, I believe. Having given up after about 20 minutes, I really cannot judge the content of the book itself. Like any book about physics it requires some concentration, and, for me at least, the reading makes this all but impossible. The reader might be a good choice for a noir detective novel, but is a dreadful mismatch for this material. The producer apparently believes that because physics is inherently dull, the reading should be doubly dramatic. The narrator seems to have little idea of what the text is about, but dutifully places a heavy dramatic inflection on every tenth word or any word that suggests significance. Hence a word like "enormous" will receive an awestruck intonation, though it occurs in a minor descriptive aside about someone's house with an "enormous garden." The reader seems to be looking for words, any words, that can be rendered ominous, emotive, or darkly significant. To me, this utter mismatch between style and content makes it nearly impossible to concentrate or absorb any information. Nor is the text captivating enough to rescue itself. By contrast, I found the audio book "Uncertainty" to be quite good, covering roughy the same terrain. Caveat: this is, of course, one man's opinion. If others react differently I hope they will write in. I don't like to criticize unduly, but I have a limited budget and am annoyed when I spend on a dud I simply can't finish. Again, I believe this is not so much the fault of the author or even the reader, but of a producer who badly mismatched the two.
"Not a quantum leap in understanding"
I got this book fundamentally because I find the whole "Quantum Thing" as fascinating as I find it opaque. I find myself agreeing with Einstein (even as I look at it I agree that is an absurd thing to type" that a universe where my viewing of an event materially impacts that universe makes no sense. I have survived other physics and cosmology books, even those by the inscrutable Brian Greene and was looking forwards to maybe coming to terms with the "Quantum Thing" more closely and just maybe even figuring a tiny bit of it out.
As it turns out I could have saved the time. This book gives a pretty detailed history to the evolution of the Quantum debate but ultimately it throws no more light on it than many other books without "Quantum" in their title. It's interesting to read paragraphs where Bohr, Einstein and Geiger (yes him of the Geiger Counter) are in fierce conflict over the math, it's always fun to watch great minds clash. Ultimately the book filled in lots of science history but left me as bemused as always. It may well just be that I'm just not smart enough to grasp the concepts so it's perhaps not a surprise that this book left me cold, but the rather stilted historic style and lack of manageable analogies didn't pass muster for my cat like brain.
"Interesting. Well-written for print, not audio."
This is a very well-written account of the development of quantum theory and, to some extent, the theory of relativity. Getting a full grasp of what the author conveys, however, often requires reference to figures that are, I hope, included in the print version.
If you primarily listen to audiobooks while driving or doing similar tasks, my advice is to skip this audiobook, and instead read the print version.
The only general area thatI wished the author would have converted was an overview of why a quantum interpretation of the universe is important. What would not have come about had quantum theory not been developed? What do scientists now expect to develop from it?
"History, biography, science - an excellent mix"
"Quantum" will have a lengthy residence in our 8Gb player. It is worth several listens. Narration is well paced and even-toned. Much of the story is brief biographical or personality sketches of the twenty or so personalities involved in developing quantum physics. These details provide a framework against which to pin the scientific details of the story.
Without need of deep mathematical or physical knowledge, the book covers the emergence of quantum physics in the 1920's, and what was so revolutionary about it. In a way that classical physics, even the relativity physics of Einstein, did not envision, the world according to quantum does not exist except in the presence of the observer.
"Awesome stories of pioneering phantum physicists"
It was great to hear of the lives, discoveries, and disputes of the men who founded the field of quantum physics. Einstein and Bohr play major roles in the story, but many other scientists and mathematicians are introduced along with their discoveries.
Yes. Though, I did take breaks to research the different theories and discoveries as I listened.

Taking discoveries out of the context of the current events of their day and ignoring those men whose shoulders lifted the individual discoverer high enough to get a good glimpse of an undiscovered truth, makes that individual seems magical. Some of the mystique of their individual contributions in light of that context provided within this book, becomes more understandable and we see that, although no less brilliant, they appear to be a little more human. Time and again, we are permitted to observe throughout this book how frequently the implications of their own contributions and discoveries are used by others to leap frog a little bit further. Einstein and Bohr are the main contenders who, like poles of a magnet pull other physicists one way or the other. This book focuses on the men in a time that Quantum Mechanics was just an infant; arguably, one that grew too heavy for its father to bear. This story is stranger than fiction. Unlike that old adage however, I still don't know if the focus subject is truth, but it does work as well or better than Ptolemy's strange orbits to predict what we observe. Now you know that I am not a physicist. I am just a mathematician with an interest in science.
Very good presentation that did not tire me. The fact that I enjoyed the presentation and do not ever remember thinking about poor narration means that he did not interfere with the story. I think that he had a pleasant, unaffected accent for me as an American listener, and he presented the material with enthusiasm.
The material was interesting throughout. The incident where Heisenberg personally requested that Hitler allow some Jews to stay in German universities since they were making significant contributions to science and were a great value to Germany was a standout. Hitler's response caused me a visceral reaction.
Part of science is knowing where to go for further information. Several papers are available to review on the internet. I stopped a few times to do some ciphering on my own. The book is inspiring. It will help me as I continue to pursue further developments as a layman, interested in physics and cosmology.

The New York Times once declared that Darlene Love's "thunderbolt voice is as embedded in the history of rock and roll as Eric Clapton's guitar or Bob Dylan's lyrics." A bold statement, but fitting for popular music's greatest sessions vocalist and backup singer – and among the most recognizable voices in rock and roll history. "I never pushed to be a star," she told writer David Hinckley in 1992. "I didn't want to. I had my home, my family. Session work let you do the music and leave."
Among rock cognoscenti, Love is best known for "He's a Rebel," a song credited to the Crystals that was in actuality sung by Love and her vocal group, the Blossoms. That's a story unto itself. With the Blossoms, Love sang with the likes of Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, the Mamas and the Papas, Duane Eddy, Sonny and Cher, Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Luther Vandross and Dionne Warwick. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.
"One time I had to make a list of all the people I've worked for," Love recalled in a 1985 Goldmine interview. "The ...
In 2010, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honored Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew as part of its annual Music Masters series saluting pioneering figures from the past half century. Among the many who took part in that weeklong celebration, in Cleveland, was Julian Bond.
An influential Civil Rights leader, politician, writer and professor, Bond, who passed away on August 15, 2015, provided among the more poignant remarks at the tribute to Domino and Bartholomew. He spoke of rock and roll's power to unite and the courage it required to deliver.
This is the full transcript of Bond's speech from the November 13, 2010 Music Masters tribute to Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew, including a poem he wrote when he was in college and published in first Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee newsletter.
"While [Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew] records were storming the charts, major challenges were being mounted against the forces of racial segregation and discrimination — the segregation that kept black and white rock and roll fans from listening to music or dancing together, that kept Domino and Bartholomew and their bands from restaurants and hotels on the road, the segregation that kept African Americans from voting ...
On August 15, 1965, the Beatles performed before a crowd of more than 55,000 ecstatic fans in New York City's Shea Stadium. That's a lot of screaming.
The legendary performance was the first ever in a major U.S. stadium, and is known as perhaps the most famous Beatles' concert – well, maybe that infamously cut short rooftop gig ranks higher.
The 1964 Ludwig drum kit played by Ringo Starr during that Shea Stadium gig was also used on six Beatles' albums, as well as during their last official concert appearance in San Francisco's Candlestick Park in 1966. Can you think of a more iconic drum set?
John Lennon's 1964 Rickenbacker electric guitar used during the performance was one of two guitars made especially for Lennon while visiting America for the first time in 1964, and used on the Beatles second-ever Ed Sullivan appearance. It soon became his primary instrument, and still has the set list from Shea Stadium taped to the side.
Hard to believe that 2015 marks the 50th anniversary of that Beatles' milestone – and that Beatlemania would still be alive and well! Both the Ringo Starr Ludwig drumkit and the John Lennon Rickenbacker ...
Rolling Stones' guitarist Keith Richards recently opened up about the genre he calls "the original music form in the world."
"I recognize power when I see it," Richards told Esquire magazine in an interview published in August 2015. "There's something incredibly powerful about the blues — the raw blues. There isn't a piece of popular music probably that you've heard that hasn't in some weird way been influenced by the blues."
Richards also shared that he's been lucky enough to meet and perform with all of his blues-based heroes. "All of these guys that I used to listen to – the amazing thing is that even at my age, I'm living in a place where I know all of my heroes, warts and all, and still love 'em," said Richards. "Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis — man, if that is not 'Mr. Rock 'n' Roll,' I don't know who is. Little Richard; I love those cats." Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard were all part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's first class in 1986.
"It's very difficult for me to talk about Chuck Berry, because I lifted every lick ...
This month, the harrowing story of the deeply troubled life and wildly creative musical mind of Brian Wilson comes to the silver screen, in Love & Mercy. An ambitious undertaking, the film is directed by Bill Pohlad who tidily splits the entire narrative arc into two distinct epochs: the musically fertile period in the 60s that produced Pet Sounds (with Wilson played by Paul Dano) and the fraught psychosis of the 80s-era rebound (with John Cusack as Wilson).
It's a fascinating glimpse into a well-documented life, and the troubled man who gave rise to among the most memorable and celebrated rock and roll of the past 50 years. So musically speaking, what is Brian Wilson most proud of?
The leader of the Boys has cited the opening bars of "California Girls" as his proudest achievement: "['California Girls'] is something I'm very proud of in a sense because it represents the Beach Boys' really greatest record production we've ever made."
Released the summer of 1965, the track's intro is stately, almost lethargic, as it blends muted horns and keyboards before slipping into perky-pop song mode. It was also reportedly conceived during among Wilson's first acid trips.
Though ...
The sheer emotional impact of Jimi Hendrix's Woodstock rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" sparked my fascination. His squealing guitar effects depicting the incoming descent of bombs that were soon "bursting in air," grabbed me, especially as intensified on film when Hendrix "lip synched" the resulting cries and screams. His performance makes the abstract so very human. For me Hendrix's Woodstock anthem of August 18, 1969, remains atop the list of the most powerful performances of Francis Scott Key's song ever created.
The Woodstock anthem gets even more interesting when compared with the other 40 or so surviving recordings of Hendrix performing the song. They reveal Hendrix's artistic as well as political evolution and define the critical and patriotic extremes of his expression to place Woodstock firmly in the middle as a combination of both. Here's a look at five incredible Hendrix versions of "The Star Spangled Banner.' Want more Hendrix? Catch Mark Clague going deep on all-things Hendrix at the Rock Hall's Library and Archives on Wednesday, March 25, 2015!

Fifty years ago, in 1964, a group of musicians – Roger McGuinn, David Crosby and Gene Clark – came together in Los Angeles, California, calling themselves the Beefeaters. By December of 1964, the Beefeaters had recruited Chris Hillman on bass guitar and Michael Clarke on drums, and changed their name to the Byrds. Far more than a name change, the group charted a new course in rock and roll history, pioneering the folk rock sounds that would become so emblematic of an era and influential generations later.
Folk rock didn't necessarily begin with the Byrds' "Mr Tambourine Man" – four months before they recorded it, the Animals were topping the pop charts with "The House of the Rising Sun" – but its combination of song and performance epitomized the genre, with the happy effect of giving Bob Dylan (as songwriter, at least) a Number One hit. The only Byrd playing on it, though, was electric 12-string guitarist McGuinn. Producer Terry Melcher, doubtful of the new band's abilities, hired session musicians to back up the vocals of McGuinn, Crosby and Clark. Perhaps Melcher had heard the group's originally private 1964 recording of the tune, which sounds like an arrangement for a music ...

Jackie Frank - Stylist
I set off to meet Jackie Frank with trepidation.
It was a decade before Lauren Weisberger catapulted ice queen Miranda Priestly into pop culture history, but I'd conjured up a spookily similar character. In my mind, Ms Frank would be a formidable perfectionist: designer-clad with a razor-sharp tongue, cool eyes and killer heels. She'd choose her words carefully, be unnervingly reserved and occasionally charming, but ultimately skewer me with a hellfire of trick questions.
I only knew two things about Jackie Frank: she'd worked as a high-flying fashion stylist on Britain's and America's most prestigious fashion magazines; and her mum was Lillian Frank, Melbourne's society queen with a little black book of VIP pals. Intimidated, moi?
It was 1995 and I was being interviewed for the role of sub-editor on Australia's most exciting magazine launch in years. Wearing the uniform - head-to-toe black, blow-dried hair and a borrowed designer tote - I had only one thing in my favour, given that my fashion-label knowledge barely extended beyond Witchery. I had devoured overseas editions of marie claire and had become a diehard fan of the magazine's features. I really wanted this job.
The marie claire office was an eerie wasteland - scores of desks begging to be filled - except for Jackie's large, bare compound. It wasn't the weird emptiness preoccupying my mind, but that initial shock sighting of the woman herself.
Dressed in a shapeless velvet sack, she beamed at me behind rimless glasses. She wasn't wearing a skerrick of make-up and her hair resembled an upturned mop. Then she outstretched a bare foot from under the desk, not a polished toenail or Manolo in sight.
If Jackie's name hadn't been on the door, I would've thought I'd stumbled into a charity shelter for the homeless. I couldn't be happier. This woman seemed normal!
Safe to say, my next seven years at marie claire proved there is nothing "normal" about Jackie Frank.
If Miranda Priestly is cool, calculating, immaculate and precise, Jackie is a bull in a china shop, acting on instinct and emotion. She is renowned for saying exactly what she thinks, loudly and without sugar-coating it - no-one who works here is ever left wondering what's going on in Jackie's mind.
She cries on a whim, belly laughs with gusto, takes the trolley from the waiters at yum cha, plays practical jokes and sits cross-legged on the floor, hitching up her frock to dangerous heights. She'll steal scraps of food off your desk, bellow your name across the hall (her dulcet tones can slice through concrete), and swear like a footballer.
Despite this anti-chic exterior, Jackie is a walking fashion encyclopedia and besties with hot-shot designers, stylists, supermodels and photographers the world over. When her imported stilettos went missing across the Atlantic two days before her wedding, she playfully screamed down the phone to the designer (in a mock-Asian accent), "Jimmy Choo, where my shoe?"
Jackie navigates fashion's many quirks like a pro. When a French stylist threw a tantrum and locked herself in the fashion cupboard, refusing to emerge unless Jackie reinstated a photo of a Gucci tote that had been cut from her story, Jackie phoned her in the closet and deftly coaxed her out, like some hostage scene from a Hollywood blockbuster. What's high drama to most is all in a day's work for Jackie.
A low boredom threshold has given her an insatiable appetite for multi-tasking - she's happiest when simultaneously solving an advertising issue, approving a fashion shoot, emailing the French office with a new campaign idea and questioning the features line-up.
A common myth about fashion mag editors is they're office part-timers, breezing in between lengthy lunches and cocktail parties. We wish! In the early years of the magazine, Jackie lived at her desk, putting in mind-numbingly long hours, and we were all expected to follow suit - marie claire was your life, not a job.
That time was a frenzy of late nights, office drinking sessions, missed deadlines (due to the drinking) and laugh-out-loud dramas. For those who wanted to leave at a respectable hour, we'd worked out a military-style system. To reach the lift, staff had no choice but to pass Jackie's glass-panelled office. If she caught a glimpse of you fleeing, bag in hand, you'd be lured back into the maelstrom. So when her head was turned, we'd catapult our bags across her window then combat crawl past her office, hidden by her desk, collect our belongings (which were sometimes strewn across the carpet) and race for the door - anything to avoid a 9pm meeting.
Those meetings! Jackie is crazy about them. Time and location are no hindrance to her obsession. She loves to walk and talk, and you'd find yourself in the oddest places: the loo, a darkened car park,
a change room - pitching story ideas.
Features meetings were at sometimes conducted on the floor as Jackie lay down nursing a crook back. When she realised exercise was impossible due to long work hours, she installed a state-of-the-art treadmill in her office and held meetings while she pounded the "runway".
It was one thing to argue your point over the drone of a powerful machine, but quite another to see your boss in sweats and runners. It was also difficult to concentrate when she came back after having a shower clad from the waist down in a towel, her hair hastily tied up with her security pass. Yet just as distracting were the "glamour" moments - whether she was getting her hair blow-dried in the office or having make-up applied, the talk-fests continued. And yes, it is unnerving trying to discuss a hard-hitting news report with someone while they're in the middle of an eyelash curl.
So what's changed since my time there? I hear the late nights are a thing of the past, although the anywhere/anytime meetings continue - I recently saw Jackie follow our CEO into the men's bathroom to finish a conversation with him. She no longer swipes food but she still shouts, or simply thumps on her office wall for attention. She has mastered the art of changing in her office, removing the need to ever leave it. I see terrified interviewees quivering in reception and I feel like telling them not to worry.
While they may encounter a glimpse of Prada, they're just as likely to face an undressed editor wriggling into her gym gear at her desk. And if the devil gets in her, she just might make them walk
with her to the loo on their way out.
Nicky Briger is the editor of WHO magazine, but spent seven years at marie claire, working her way from sub-editor to deputy editor. She is yet to introduce the treadmill tradition to her current role.

Knox to be state's 1st 'Purple Heart County'
On Monday afternoon, County Commission is scheduled to proclaim Knox County to be a "Purple Heart County" — making Knox the first county in Tennessee to be designated as such.
The "Purple Heart County" designation is part of a nationwide effort spearheaded by the Military Order of the Purple Heart.
Once the proclamation is approved, the military order's local chapter, No. 356, will present a plaque and flag formally recognizing the designation.
The proclamation was proposed by Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett.
"This nation was built on the shoulders of the men and women in our armed forces, and we owe our freedom and everything that is good in this country to their willingness to fight on our behalf," Burchett said. "Many of our veterans were called away to war, and too many of them were injured or never returned.
"If approved, this designation will be yet another way that Knox County shows support for those who take up arms in defense of our great country."
Burchett as mayor has increased staffing in the Veterans Service Office and moved it to a disabilities-accessible location. He and County Commission also implemented a policy in the hiring process that guarantees an interview to any veteran who meets the minimum requirements for an open position, and the POW/MIA flag now flies over several county facilities.
Three Knox County commissioners — Richard Briggs, Dave Wright and Jeff Ownby — have served in the U.S. armed forces, and Veterans Service Officer Robert "Buzz" Buswell is himself a Purple Heart recipient.

Proscan 10.1 Internet Tablet Review.
What do you think about this video?
Cylon Incorporated: I owned the white version of this tablet. Best tablet ever.
Alain Guillemette:
Bonne tablette pour le prix 10.1 proscan
David Andrade: I just received this same tablet that you reviewed here. They (the manufacturers of this device) must have made some improvements from your tablet. The title of this tablet is the same on the box as you describe and this one came with a case and a keyboard and does have blue tooth and WiFi and Netflix runs just fine along with Hulu+. The only reason I am not keeping it is it didn't support my bank mobile app and some of the streaming TV apps weren't supported otherwise I agree with you analysis of your test devise but after a little thought I decided it would make an appropriate gift for my 10 year old grandson with one condition that he agreed to which is he must still go outside and play. He did agree. Thank you for you review I look forward to future reviews, David A
jack g: not one single comments online have been positive of not only this 10.1" and any others proscan product is very negative. Not recommended at all. You pay what you get. You must pay at least $200. for minimum. Otherwise your throw out your money.
asia johnson: He is not talking about a keyboard he talk about the feature of the tablet
Joseph Rotello: Whatcha doing down in Sevierville ? Just interest, being up here in Knoxville
